(44-045) “I cannot tolerate the oppression of My devotees. I kill the oppressor even if he is My own son. I cut down My own son for the sake of My servant. I am not telling a lie. O Gupta, listen attentively.
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
“I can never tolerate the behavior of persons who are envious of My devotees. If even one of My sons becomes envious of My devotees, I am also prepared to kill that dear son. What to speak of this, for the sake of My devotees, I am ready to cut My own son into pieces. I am telling you the actual truth—this is not an exaggeration.”
